Chapter 6. Interpersonal explicitations
-
Fang Tang
Abstract
Previous studies on explicitation mainly focus on form-oriented shifts (Blum-Kulka 1986/2004; Vehmas-Leto 1989; Shlesinger 1995; Olohan & Baker 2000; Olohan 2001, 2002a, 2002b; 2004; Wang 2003; Puurtinen 2004; Kenny 2005; Huang 2007), like the addition of connectives, and the lexicalisation of personal pronouns. In recent years, more studies have turned to the meaning-oriented shifts (Weissbrod 1992; Klaudy 1993; Englund Dimitrova 1993; Perego 2003; Pápai 2004; House 2004; Ke 2005; Gumul 2006a & 2006b; Kamenická 2007b; Xue 2007; Zhang 2009; Becher 2011; Wang 2012, 2013a; Xiao 2012), such as lexical specification, disambiguating metaphors and culture-related additions. Yet, so far, the explicitation of attitude-based information has rarely been systematically explored (Zhang 2002: 17). This chapter intends to fill in this gap by investigating interpersonal explicitations.
